Great thread...I had DW .357 back in the 70's that was a real shooter; a friend had a DW22 that lived at my place for awhile, and it was a tack driver. Real good revolvers.

Sorry, that wasn't my intent...honest. ;D I realize that but you've posted more and a wider variety than I've seen and I appreciate your sharing them. I'm quite envious....

Here's my "on time" first of the month post for Mark. ;D A little while back, I was fortunate enough to find a good deal on a clean Model 14-1 chambered in .357 Mag. I bought this to go with the .38 Spl. shown back on pg 5. The real clincher on the deal was when I discovered that the .357 was built exactly 10 guns after the .38! The frames on both have turned an almost identical "Barney" (plum) shade, too. I eventually found a DW "Mini Pac" case to store them in...

I owned a DW 15-2 many years back, and enjoyed it as a very accurate and well built piece. DA trigger was slick!
I'd like to get another - my new bride can handle the 38/.357 in a smaller framed S&W, but my memories of the DW call me back to a 15-2 for a DA 357
Also for my own return to some DA use, perhaps a DW in 44 or 45 would be chosen over an N frame S&W.....
Here comes the odd request: does anyone have a photo of a 15-2 next to the K or L frame S&W for comparison?
How about an N frame S&W next to a large frame DW?
I didn't have the 15-2 long enough to see any trouble with stout 357 loads, but have heard it's better than the K frame S&W for durability in that regard?

I don't have a good S&W - DW comparison pic just yet. Maybe one of these other members will. However, I will agree that I haven't found a Model 15 yet that will whimper from some rather hefty loads. As a newbie reloader, I accidentally loaded 30 rounds rather hot recently...ummm woops! After the shells from the first cylinder full stuck tight, I immediately knew that I screwed up my reloads. Check out some of these hi-pressure primers... I was using my 15-1 Porkchop (every bit as strong as a 15-2) that day & ran the rest through, taking a peek after every three or so, to make sure nothing bad was happening to the gun. Later on, I ran a few factory loads through it...it feels & acts perfectly fine.
